The organisers of the First International Network on Trust Singapore Workshop are pleased to announce the following keynote presentation. More details on the Workshop can be found at: http:https://business.smu.edu.sg/conference/fint2013

 

It has been known that the paper-and-pencil measures of general trust correlate more (or at least as) strongly with trustworthy behaviors than (as) trusting behaviors that are theoretically predicted to reflect the game player’s trust (i.e., expectations of fair choices by their game partners) in some economic games. It is also known that trusting choices and trustworthy choices in those games are strongly correlated with each other. Professor Yamagishi first presents data showing that the correlation between trust and trustworthiness cannot be fully accounted for by the projection of own trustworthiness onto their partner. He then presents the logic of co-evolution of trust, trustworthiness, and social intelligence, according to which the adaptive value of trust or trustworthiness emerges only in the presence of the other – trust is a gainful strategy only for trustworthy people, and trustworthiness is a gainful strategy only for trusting people. If time allows, he will discuss implications of his most recent findings about homo economicus.

About FINT

The First International Network on Trust (FINT) aims to further international cooperation in trust research via conferences, workshops, regular newsletters, and various other activities. FINT members have organized numerous tracks on trust at EURAM, EGOS, and Academy of Management conferences. FINT actively aims to further publications on trust, preferably co-authored by scholars from different countries. Workshop and track papers have been brought together in special issues of Personnel Review (2003, vol 32, 5), Journal of Managerial Psychology (2004, vol 19, 6) and Strategic Change (2005), an edited volume on ‘Trust under pressure (published by Edward Elgar) and special issues on ‘Trust and control’ of International Sociology (2005) and Group and Organization Management (2007). Recent book publications are Trust and Human Resources Management, the Handbook of Research Methods on Trust (both published by Edward Elgar) and Organizational Trust - A Cultural Perspective, a volume published by Cambridge University Press. FINT members have also contributed actively to the creation of the Journal of Trust Research.
